The end of a Space Era

After leaving from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and visiting Washington D.C., Discovery landed at Dulles International Airport outside Washington on Tuesday. Its final resting spot will be at the Smithsonian Institution's air and space facility in Chantilly, Virginia. This is unfortunately is the end of the space program in the United States for now. There are other independent groups trying to make a safer alternative to entering orbit and the ability to travel to the International Space Station. Some believe that the program was ready for retirement, but others feel like it was too soon. For the many who were able to say goodbye one last time, it was a bittersweet experience.
